Raumaster Paper Oy supplied roll handling and roll wrapping systems to MM Kotkamills’ factory. The successful scheduling of the extensive project in the current global situation required the right kind of resource allocation and smooth operation in all areas.

The project covers the roll handling equipment from the upper machine level to the vertical conveyor leading to the lower level, as well as the lower level roll handling line, where paper rolls are transported towards the wrapping line via conveyor lines.

A fully automated wrapping line was also built at the factory, with a capacity of approximately 100 rolls per hour. After wrapping, the rolls are labeled and marked, then lifted upright with an up-ender and transferred with storage conveyors to the storage for retrieval by forklifts.

“This project included a diverse range of product families. Primarily, these are so-called standard products, but of course, various factory-specific and customized solutions are always made”, says Matias Lehtinen, who was responsible for the project at Raumaster Paper Oy.
